Rajasthani Makki Ki Raab – Corn Soup

Rajasthani Makki Ki Raab - Corn Soup

Makki ki Raab — a hearty, comforting Rajasthani soup made with corn that is my go-to drink to cozy up during the winter! Simmered in an earthenware pot for a rich flavor, this silky, effortless soup with some fresh veggies is a satisfying drink fit for the chilly weather!

Raab is a warm drink or soup enjoyed in Rajasthan during the winter, typically made with bajra (millet) or makki (corn). This version is something I love making when it’s cold here in Chicago to keep all the sniffles at bay. Make it for a simple weeknight dinner and savor all the warmth and goodness packed into this simple soup!
